Taken at Cape Schanck, Victoria with a Nikon D700 and 14-24mm lens, consisting of 3x 30s exposures for the sky, and 7x 30s exposures for the foreground. The Cape Schanck Lighthouse is a fascinating piece of Victoria's history. The museum and lighthouse are open to the public every day for tours. Nearby walking tracks in the Mornington Peninsula National Park lead to lookouts with spectacular views of the coast. Our Milky Way Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy, part of the Local Group.
